Why Northern Indiana just might be the perfect place to make electric transportation a reality by re-introducing Henry Ford to Thomas Edison:

- Empty Manufacturing Facilities
- Skills match for low volume craftmanship
- Slower pace: Horseless Buggy might work!

- Purdue University Engineering
- Small farm business sustainability tenacity
- Local supply of Ethanol
- History of Studebaker
- Recent sting from Hummer
- Indiana was willing to reduce corporate tax burden for the venture
